Traditionally, servants received Christmas gifts from their employers on December 26, after the family celebrations. Boxing Day is now a public holiday, and occurs on the first day after Christmas that would otherwise be a working day (Dec. 26 unless that falls on a weekend).
In the UK Boxing Day is traditionally a day of Sport. In Ireland the 26th is known as St Stephen's Day orWren's Day.
